Had a great time visiting the railway with my 5 year old son who is very interested in trains. The volunteers are fantastic. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about explaining how the trains worked with us and showing us other trains in the little engine shed. Highly recommend to those with who love trains!! Couldn't believe it wasn't busier!
